The Storyteller (1988)

Episode Overview

The storyteller reminisces about his time as a servant to the king after tricking the royal cook into giving him a free meal. As punishment, he must share a story each day, or risk being boiled in the cook's cauldron! Everything goes smoothly until the last day arrives, and he finds himself completely blank, unable to conjure a tale to escape his fate. This tale draws inspiration from an ancient Celtic folk story.
